"Fate is the Hunter" by Ernest Gann

"Wind, Sand, and Stars" by Antoine De Saint-Exupery

"Going Solo" by Roald Dahl (not all flying, but lots of WW2 RAF stories, and all the non-flying stuff is also excellent)

All of these are God tier books.

I would add "Sled Driver" as well.

I enjoyed "The Aviators" by Winston Groom. Tells the stories of Eddy Rickenbacker, Charles Lindbergh, and Jimmy Doolittle.
